The Azure Maps Web SDK lets you customize interactive maps with your own content and imagery. You can use this interactive map for both your web or mobile applications. The map control makes use of WebGL, so you can render large data sets with high performance. You can develop with the SDK by using JavaScript or TypeScript.

[Render] service introduces a new version of the [Get Map Tile] API that supports using Azure Maps tiles not only in the Azure Maps SDKs but other map controls as well. It includes raster and vector tile formats, 256x256 or 512x512 tile sizes (where applicable) and numerous map types such as road, weather, contour, or map tiles. For a complete list, see [TilesetID] in the REST API documentation. You're required to display the appropriate copyright attribution on the map anytime you use the Azure Maps Render service, either as basemaps or layers, in any third-party map control. For more information, see [How to use the Get Map Attribution API].

The route service is used to calculate the estimated arrival times (ETAs) for each requested route. Factors such as real-time traffic information and historic traffic data, like the typical road speeds on the requested day of the week and time of day are considered. The route service returns the shortest or fastest routes available to multiple destinations at a time in sequence or in optimized order, based on time or distance. The service allows developers to calculate directions across several travel modes, such as car, truck, bicycle, or walking, and electric vehicle. The service also considers inputs, such as departure time, weight restrictions, or hazardous material transport.
